Writing exercise
When I worked in General Mills China, we had a traditional activity which started two weeks before mooncake holiday. All the office staff needed to go out of the office and gave mooncakes to customers. During these days, one day we worked at office, one day we worked in some temporary stores. When we worked in the temporary store, every one had his/her own responsibility. Some of us putted mooncakes into books. Some were giving the mooncakes to customers, some received the mooncakes’ tickets and two team leaders needed to responsible for all the things in temporary store. Everyday our colleague who in charge of our lunch and dinner would ordered different delicious food for us. And our vendors would visit us and brought us milk teas or some snakes. There was a ranking in all temporary stores and everyday we were very exciting when the rank was be announced. It was a happy time.
